Vinha Boutique Hotel

One word - EXCEPTIONAL!!! This hotel is exceptional in every possible way. We stayed there in November, and I have been meaning to write a review for a while now. I feel like I must leave them a review, because the hotel delivered an absolutely great experience. We loved our room, it was very spacious, cozy, stylish and comfortable (we stayed in the room with a river view). The hotel itself is so pleasant and beautiful, that it's just so enjoyable to be there. I am so happy we decided to stay there, and not in the town of Porto...we didn't lose anything. Just like anyone else said before in the reviews - it's a short and easy ride to Porto...about 7-10 mins. We also took a free boat ride once that was provided by the hotel. Breakfast was delicious, and there were lots of options to choose from. Staff of the hotel was very attentive and super accommodating. Oh...and I almost forgot to mention that they checked us in earlier without any fuss...probably around 1pm (although check in is at 3pm), but this is perhaps because it's a slower season, but still very nice! Also, it just so happened that I celebrated my birthday while staying at Vinha, and was pleasantly surprised when I walked in my room at night to a bottle of champagne and a cute little cake (it was delicious!!). They were also spoiling us every day with these little boxes of macaroons and sweets that were left in the room for us to enjoy. Thank you so much for this wonderful stay! I can't say enough about this hotel. Whoever manages this property and works there - they all do an incredible job!

I went to Vinha Boutique Hotel for spa only. A main attraction for me is their vitality pool but only when I was there I was informed it's closed due to maintenance. I saw in another review that they don't use to inform clients if some facilities are not in use. The sensory shower is nothing sensory for me... I did the hydrating body treatment, disappointed by the massage technique (feels like those Thai massage shop in city center of Porto, while for 5 star spa I am looking for something more sophisticated. Yeatman and Monumental Palace provide much better massage experience - my own opinions) Their spa bathroom is another disappointment, but if you are a hotel guest that's not a problem for you. No shampoo in all three cubicles - can't believe such negligence happen in such a 5 star hotel. No hair conditioner, and body lotion instead of body gel in the shower rooms?? The spa front desk offered me shampoo and hair mask though.

Amazing hotel in every possible way. The desighn is unique and very beautiful, small hotel but 5 stars.|The breakfast was anything you can hope for, and the pool area both out side and inside is amazing.|The jacouzzi was not operating due to a problem, it was fixed on our last day but it looks amazing|The room with the balcony was with great view and large! with a huge shower and stand alone bath - with view of the Douro river.|All was very very clean and well maintained.|The hotel has a Sissely Spa- I had a special water treatment + message with Daniella.|Daniella was amazing- ask for her! she has great hands.

We recently stayed at this hotel and were genuinely impressed by its charm. The rooms were spacious and beautifully maintained, the gardens were lush and peaceful, and the views were absolutely stunning. Dining was a highlight—delicious food served in lovely surroundings.||However, a few details fell short of the five-star standard. Some of the sunbeds were quite worn, and the decking in places was loose and noisy, which detracted from the otherwise tranquil setting. The air-conditioning in our room wasn’t working properly, making it a bit too warm for comfort.||Service varied—some staff were outstanding and went above and beyond, while others, though polite, lacked attentiveness. We often had to get up and request drinks, which isn’t ideal for a luxury experience.||Despite these minor issues, we had a fantastic time. With just a few improvements, this hotel could easily deliver a flawless five-star experience.|

This is an absolutely immaculate, tastefully designed and completely comfortable hotel. My wife and I loved it. Excellent location on the river in beautiful grounds - far better than staying in the town itself. Really friendly and efficient service, and super comfy beds. This is genuinely special hotel that I will be booking again should I return to Porto (which I also loved). Wonderful breakfast - top class omelette that I heartily recommend. We had a deluxe room which was lovely, and more than big enough. I can't think of a better place to stay in Porto. |In order to be perfect please provide more hangers in the bedroom (we only had 3 to start with), and provide more free water in the rooms. |Other than that I would rate this hotel an easy 9 out of 10 - it's a great place despite what looks like some spurious reviews from other travellers. |Very highly recommended.

Near perfect for a stay in Porto, hotel has a private boat to drop you in the centre, or we used an uber which was about €4.5e to the Luiz Bridge.||Hotel was stunning, ultra modern, great service, view out over river. Outside pool was magic in sunshine and easy access / lots of parking for our Ferrari. Great to be relatively close to the centre but away from the hustle and bustle.||We had a small problem with room a/c during our stay, staff were extremely apologetic and as hotel was busy they upgraded us to a suite. Which was stunning.||Huge choice at breakfast, all staff super friendly. Bar serves a lovely Port & tonico

We stayed 3 nights at the hotel for some chill out, having stayed more centrally for the previous 4 days to explore Porto. |The hotel is beautifully curated, a feast for your eyes, even much nicer than the pictures. There is a lovely signature vanilla scent throughout. |The hotel has a fantastic riverside setting with beautiful views from everywhere set in lovely gardens. |We spent most of our time relaxing by the pool watching boat activity on the river! One afternoon we used the courtesy water taxi to Porto and walked the 4km back along the river. The water taxi goes one way 4 times a day between 12-5. The taxi operator is so friendly and professional. |All the staff at the hotel were all superb and completely focused on providing an excellent and friendly service. |We opted to eat at the hotel every night, at the Terrace restaurant which was so chilled… lovely background playlist , scent of jasmine wafting, delicious food and a varied menu. |Our bedroom just oozed luxury, a beautiful wall to wall window looking towards the river with a lovely balcony to relax on, mood lighting, automated curtains, a well designed bathroom with high end toiletries, a comfy bed and the softest fluffy carpet. |The large spa area is a very chilled experience too though needs booked when the hotel is busy. Unfortunately some folk insisted on using their mobile phones on speaker to make calls and watch videos, which is rather inconsiderate to others. |I’d never really thought of Porto as a chill out destination … but Hotel Vinha has made me reconsider!

We truly enjoyed our stay at this hotel. From the service, rooms, and restaurant to the spa center – everything is simply beautiful and radiates pure luxury ✨ What impressed me the most was the thoughtful nighttime routine in the rooms, with their cozy ambiance and delightful sweets, making every evening feel extra special. Can’t wait to come back ✨
